Happy Birthday Paul Jones! (born Paul Pond, 24 February 1942)

 

"Paul Jones was born in Portsmouth, Hampshire. As "P.P. Pond", he performed duets with Elmo Lewis (aka future founder member of the Rolling Stones, Brian Jones) at the Ealing Club, home of Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated, whose singers included Long John Baldry and Mick Jagger. He was asked by Keith Richards and Brian Jones to be the lead singer of a group they were forming, but he turned them down. Jones then went on to be the vocalist and harmonica player of the successful 1960s group Manfred Mann. He had several Top Ten hits with Manfred Mann before going solo in July 1966." Link. Jones also starred in the mind=blowingly seminal 60's rock film "Privilege".

Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere... The Who Live! First time on US TV? Shindig!

I know "Can't Explain" was actually a minor hit in the US prior to that (It was actually covered as early as late 1965 on Boston's The Ones' rare all cover LP), but... Was this the first time American Teens would see the mighty Oo' on TV, on cult Teen program : Shindig!, and Live to boot (taped from the Windsor jazz & blues festival, I think... in '65 too!) ?
